ALL our cats and dogs are in the NY area but can be adopted out of state to the purrfect furever home. In some cases, we can help transport. Zani's al fresco Summer Adoptions follow us on FB to find us this summer as we will try new locations to meet the needs of NYC and support the little stores:) Handsome 6m 20lbs Sweet Russell from Puerto Rico. All dogs are located in NY/NJ area All our puppies need puppy play dates/doggy facetime so we recommend homes with other pups or daily interactions to keep them tired out, happy and social. Facebook: Zani's Furry Friends ZFF (weekly adoption event info posted there) Twitter: zanisff Instagram: zanisfurryfriends Dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD on age appropriate vaccines, Rabies vaxed, and microchipped (not Lyme vaxed but we seriously recommend it!) All are in the NY/NJ area but we will adopt out of state to the purrfect home and in some cases, we can arrange transport. Please go to our site https://zanisfurryfriends.org fill out an application Many of us (cats/dogs) will be on display on Saturdays or Sundays, weather dependent--please ask by writing us at dogs@zanisfurryfriends.org and following us on FB. If you are seriously interested in adopting one of us in particular, please fill out an application early Friday so that we can be sure to be there. Otherwise we decide based on other variables. Usually we are in our foster homes so this is a bit more stressful and a slightly artificial environment but we do want to be seen and find our furever homes too. Please consider providing a home for more than one dog, especially if you are considering adopting a puppy. Dogs are pack animals and very much enjoy as well as need other dog company to learn to play, socialize and be good companion animals to people. The upside to this is that you won't feel as guilty leaving them alone and you get twice the love. Please come! And if you can't adopt, maybe you can foster or volunteer, and you can always donate!

Story

How is it that this fabulous little guy isn't getting snapped up??? Sawyer is a darling guy who came from a hoarding situation. He was a little bit shy when he came in to rescue but with the help of the other dogs in the foster home, he is coming out of his shell and learning all the things a little lap sitter needs to know to be your perfect companion. He is 7 years old and fully vetted, heart worm negative and microchipped. He would do best in a house with another dog as it helps him to have another dog to show him the ropes. We are working on leash walking and potty training, but he won't need much help to learn loving. He just needs a loving family to show him how wonderful a dog's life can be. Won't you please consider adding him as a new family member? Just click on the big black button marked "Ask About Me" and we will get you an application for Sawyer! These dogs are being fostered in TN but included in your adoption fee is transport to a location near you by Rescue Riders Pet Transport, the most animal-friendly transport on the road.

Story

🚨 URGENT – SASHA NEEDS A SAFE PLACE NOW 🚨 Sasha didn’t end up here by choice… she was abandoned alone in a hotel room 💔 left behind, confused, and terrified. Now she sits quietly, trying to make sense of everything. Sasha is a 32 lb adult terrier mix with a gentle soul. She is very scared right now, but in a calm, quiet space, she allows gentle pets and starts to soften. She just needs someone patient enough to show her she’s safe again. She prefers slow movements and doesn’t like hands near her face yet — and honestly, after what she’s been through, who could blame her? But there is a sweet, loving girl underneath the fear just waiting to come out. 🐾 Dog friendly 🐾 Gentle, sensitive soul 🐾 Needs a calm, patient home to decompress 🐾 Will blossom with love and time Sasha doesn’t need perfection… she just needs someone willing to give her a chance. Right now, she’s at risk simply because she’s scared in a loud, overwhelming environment. That is not who she truly is. Please—HELP Sasha and give her the safe landing she desperately needs. She’s already been left behind once… let’s not let it happen again. 💔 PLEASE TEXT KAREN 4136298152

Story

Meet Meatball: a tiny, clingy gentleman with a big personality and an even bigger need for love.Let's not sugarcoat it - Meatball can be a lot. He isn't built for the hustle and bustle of shelter life. It's loud, it's overwhelming, and frankly it's just not his scene. What he IS built for is a cozy home, a soft place to land and humans who understand that sometimes love looks like an emotionally-needy sidekick who just really REALLY wants to be close to you. Meatball will absolutely follow you from room to room. He is happy to be involved in all that you're doing, doing his best to occupy every ounce of personal space you have. Despite his suspicion for life in general, he is incredibly sweet and tender-hearted.He may occasionally test your patience, but he'll also melt your heart on a daily basis. Meatball doesn't need perfection. He just needs someone to see past his quirks and give him the calm, comforting home he's waiting for.Adopt Meatball. You'll gain a loyal companion who will provide a mutually-beneficial emotional support relationship.If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website www.savehomelessanimals.org.
